Having to play with glasses is a thing though 😛 , pity VR is no longer in the loop.
Ditched ClipChamp in favour of Shotut – quite a good program really. The QT throws in some quirkiness like you can’t vertically expand the Keyframe/Timeline area and so left with the dinky super small RH scroll button. Also a few gotchas such as adding text to a…[Read more]

Another issue for the Labubu mob, arranging for it to be fitted with a vacuum hose for the gathering dust in our houses. And a playlist of cheerful whistles to get it across the task!
He’s gone to a better place now:

Next to some canna lilies in an area kept fallow for years now, and come over a little…[Read more]

Only two weeks after his shot, Shem has become almost immobile in a rather speedy downgrade to Stage 4 End-Stage Osteoarthritis. Difficulty with his eat/drink/motions now as well. Oh well, best to keep him comfortable in his basket for a while, looks like time for the needle in any case. 🙁
On a rather cheerier note, a few showers coming in for…[Read more]

Couple of showers over here which is nice. 🙂
Might be quite nice if the price is right, and if it can negotiate and traverse rough terrain. Can it operate off-grid for example? Mass production then may not be entirely in the spirit of the enterprise, in which case raising an issue for it may not elicit a…[Read more]

So, the flood gates have opened!

Tried the last one out of interest:

No dates along with fairly broad event locations. No doubt someone will step up with content curation in mind. 🙂

Jaffa, the young dog incurred a paralysis tick, so in hospital, doing well enough. 🙂 So much for the bank balance and invested time. 🙁
Shem, the old dog, has lost some appetite, very quiet and slow, but still walking well enough. Had a shot for pain, only lasts a month though.
National Clean Up day is today, as well as Mothers’ Day here as well,…[Read more]

Sorry, did read Workers and Resources as a module/DLC of Witcher – somehow didn’t catch on to the mismatch in the naming. 😛
Are you playing it through proton and Steam Launcher? There’s Windowed borderless which apparently reduces FPS, else ALT + ENTER according to this.
Still use Acemovi, reported some bugs via email a couple of months ago with…[Read more]

La Marzocco is mentioned a lot – they were the first with the horizontal boilers. Hefty prices these days though.

Someone suggested Accademia del Caffè Espresso looks like a nice place to discover when next in Italy.
There’s been some success reported with the treatment of fire ants up north, they’re on the march here so preparation is…[Read more]

Does Witcher launch in its own resolution or do they provide a choice?
Yes, sounds like some streamers have addressed it e.g. YouTube, obviously other cdn’s don’t care, and the browsers + extensions don’t provide a “streaming” dialog of user options. The browser people are aware of it, somehow a new instance of a video launched from a full screen…[Read more]

Ah, okay, good catch. Happy enough on 60 HZ here – the monitor here doesn’t support full HDR on Windows anyway – crock or not. 😛
All the desktop browser streaming apps in this country have the same problem as here:

Streaming series doesn’t stay in full screen after each episode.

You set it to full screen – why…[Read more]

Yes, I use metal teapot so horribly non-standard. Milk before though – definitely no sugar. And this is for Camellia Sinensis only, is there a standard for others e.g. green tea – Jasmine Rooibos etc?
Always wondered about elephants going “rogue” all explained here:

Late in the night in Bavaria, a nacktschnecke was found to be the cause of all the doorbells ringing and disturbing the occupants.
Wonders never cease, as with snails and the way these flatworms affect the poor sods is breathtaking. Such a parasite of relative size hosted by our species would be hardly conceivable.
Beginning to dry out here as…[Read more]

The comic book My Little Pony is available for loan at Wayback too, looks like a story in there for 99 pages.
Ther’s enough interest in Dog to keep you going until the end, no eye-popping antics from the dog to break any of the very few moments of monotony though. But then you know it’s all real despite an oft used tendency to employ CGI in such…[Read more]

Those silos are scary, even more so when the launchers become mobilised.
Wonderful, Banana slugs hail from Hoh, what graceful creatures!
The word “martyr” is being used out of context in the media it seems, so asked the question. These days many folks just ask AI without referring to a dictionary – or having any idea of its purpose. 😛

Good idea, always used to put the open sleeve in the cover first, might be ok for 50 years or so – before the plastic starts to degrade. 😛
Getting quite a few 1A bug checks with parameter 3f. Performed all the usual checks, memory looks fine. CRC problem likely points more to HW though – time for pasture? The guy in town might be interested in…[Read more]

The little Redragon Kumara K552 has developed a red “F” key, backlighting on it works as with the others, but with a rouge intent. Stay tuned for other developments. 🙂
So back with the old W10 clunker with a rather unpleasant shock of the date hard on 2055. Apart from the CMOS on the blink and the event logs all messed up, authentication out the…[Read more]

Johnny Carson had a show in the fifties:

He comes across as rather engaging, which compensates somewhat for the low/med humour output.

How odd, given there’s no hibernation issues. Ddoes the machine boot up automatically when shut down by the power manager. Or can the machine shutdown process circumvent the power manager at all? A recent Reddit thread:

Wonderful, the bamboo grove a first on the bucket list:

The caves are spectacular, too, and as with the Recycle Nation spread, no updates from the author as to current status. Let me guess though, terrific. 🙂
This one came through recently, a spider that uses a fungus-like appearance as camouflage. The fungus is surely going to take that…[Read more]

On state FTA they played The Westall UFO Mystery. Any direct recollection of reports of the sighting are dim, it must have good publicity for one of our TV channels at the time.
Funny how the locals, especially the science teacher fared during the “hush up”, and the television archival footage going AWOL, with the Department of Defence remaining…[Read more]
